I've already put a lot of effort into purging as many categories of Google spam notifications from my phone as possible, but they just keep adding new categories that I have to track down and opt out of individually. And the only way to silence them from the notification itself is to block all notifications from that app/service.
I paid good money for this phone — just stop with the OS-integrated spam! It's a never ending game of spam whackamole with Google these days. I guess various product owners are incentivised to increase "engagement" or whatever, but right now they're just increasing my engagement with Apple's product pages.
- hedora 5y agoI like my pixel phone. It runs GrapheneOS, and it only took a few hours of futzing to get the camera to perform like stock. (The wireless charging stand is a different story. It has a fan, and the only way to disable the fan involves running some system extension that requires deep kernel integration with the factory version of Android. Other than that, it's been remarkably trouble free.)
- 12ian34 5y agoI've been considering graphene. I'd love to hear more about any other usability issue or problem you've experienced no matter how small, if you have the time. it's surprisingly difficult to find detailed accounts of this online (even via DDG!) I am aware of graphene's features from the website but can't find a comprehensive list of, for example, which UK banking apps categorically don't work, or which other features or obscure minor setting is missing.
